Pawluk, Michaela Elizabeth (2021-07-12)Climate change is affecting marine environmental conditions which can affect fish distributions, survival, and species interactions. The aim of this dissertation is to address how climate change may affect fish populations ...
-
Schalk, Christopher Michael (2016-05-18)Ecological communities are organized by historical, biotic, and abiotic factors and the strengths of these factors vary across multiple spatial and temporal scales. I sought to disentangle the drivers of community assembly ...
-
Bower, Luke Max (2019-05-15)A mechanistic understanding of general community assembly is crucial for predicting how species will respond to future environmental changes. My dissertation explores general ecological patterns of stream fish assemblages ...

Jackson, Andrew (2012-10-19)In the Oueme River, a lowland river in Benin, Africa, artificial ponds constructed in the floodplain (whedos) are colonized during the high-water period by a presumably random sample of fishes from the river channel. As ...
-
Bokhutlo, Thethela (2020-08-27)Alteration of the flow regime may affect species distributions, mechanisms of community assembly, and patterns of energy flow within and between fluvial ecosystems. Changes in the periodicity and predictability of flows ...
-
Hydrology and Larval Fish Dynamics in Texas Rivers: Science to Evaluate Environmental Flow Standards Rodger, Anthony (2015-07-17)Given increasing human demands for freshwater, it is imperative to identify environmental flows that maintain native species, their habitats, and key ecosystem dynamics. A major challenge is determining requirements for ...
-
Bader, Amy Elaine (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Indigenous natural enemies occur within field grown crops at varying densities dependent upon a variety of other biotic and abiotic parameters. This natural control often does not provide adequate suppression, which results ...
-
Montoya Ceballos, Jose Vicente (2009-05-15)In this study, I examined the influence of hydrological seasonality on spatiotemporal variation of algal biomass and shrimp abundance on sandbanks of the Cinaruco River in southwestern Venezuela. Seasonal variations of ...
-
Errera, Reagan Michelle (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Prymnesium parvum Carter, a haptophyte species capable of forming harmful algal blooms (HABs), has been identified in fresh and brackish water habitats worldwide. In Texas, P. parvum blooms have diminished local community ...
